Glitz, glamour and competition! Dancing With the Stars has some strong competitors for season 30, including JoJo Siwa, Iman Shumpert and Amanda Kloots. Keep reading to see the contestants’ scores this week and who won the mirrorball trophy!
The new season kicked off on September 20 with judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman and former pro dancer Derek Hough. Len previously missed judging for season 29 because he was unable to travel from the U.K. to Los Angeles due to coronavirus restrictions.
JoJo was one of the strongest competitors right off the bat, and she made history as the first female celebrity contestant to be paired with a female pro dancer — Jenna Johnson.
“For the first time in Dancing with the Stars history, I am dancing with another female, and I’m really, really proud,” the Dance Moms alum said. “I came out in early 2021, and what I love to do is make truly being who you are easier for kids.”
The YouTuber raved over her experience on the dance competition show after her standout performance during the premiere.
“I can’t even believe that week 1 is over!!! @jennajohnson, I couldn’t ask for a better partner! Thank you for taking me through this process while making it the most fun ever,” JoJo wrote via Instagram. “The CREW on DWTS is so amazing. The CAST is all so fun! Making history and [the] top score of the night was literally a dream come true for me. Chase every dream you have and believe in yourself. Know that I love you all, and I am smiling so big right now because of you. We did this.”
This season also marks the return of pros Witney Carson, who is paired with wrestler Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, and Lindsay Arnold, partnering with former Bachelor star Matt James.
Both ladies welcomed babies last year. Witney and husband Samuel Cusick are now parents to daughter Sage while Lindsay’s baby boy, Leo, has been keeping her and husband Carson McAllister busy.
“I’m so honored to be back. I feel better than ever, a little more emotional but better than ever,” Witney gushed during the premiere.
Lindsay took to Instagram to share that she was “beyond excited” to be partnered with the Bachelor Nation star, and it felt “good” to be back on stage.
